'''Fake Fancams''' (also called the '''Fancam Situation''') are [[shock videos]] uploaded and shared on Twitter and Instagram pretending to be a fancam video (a clip made and uploaded by fans to promote an artist and/or their music), made for baiting users into watching either a [[screamer]] or disturbing imagery, including but not limited to murder, torture, self-harm, suicide, and people getting shot. The fancams originally started with K-Pop, but later expanded to other things.

The fancams originally started with K-Pop, but later expanded to other things.

This phenomenon appeared in early 2019. Many K-pop stans have found red flags to identify the members of groups from where they originated such as keywords ("slit" or "slitz") and symbols.
